Omnidirectional Transmissive Acoustic Metasurfaces Based on Goldberg Polyhedra
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study introduces omnidirectional acoustic metasurfaces capable of manipulating wavefronts in multiple arbitrary directions simultaneously. A full‐stack pipeline for design, optimization, and fabrication is presented to construct near‐spherical holograms based on Goldberg polyhedra.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Ambient‐dried composite aerogels integrating MOF‐303, TEMPO‐oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNF), and hygroscopic salts enable high‐performance atmospheric water harvesting (AWH), achieving competitive uptake at both low and high humidity. Enhanced with a solar‐evaporation layer, these scalable aerogels support self‐sustained plant growth in a ...

A sustainable analysis of a detached house heating system throughout its life cycle. A case study
International Journal of Strategic Property Management, 2007 Approximately 40% of final energy is consumed in buildings both in Lithuania and the European Union. In cold climate countries major part of the consumed energy is heat.

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 1997 Civil buildings in Lithuania consume one half of final energy or about 70% of heat generated in thermoelectric and heat power stations. However, energy is necessary not only for exploitation but also for the creation of buildings: manufacture of building

Microbubble‐Controlled Delivery of Biofilm‐Targeting Nanoparticles to Treat MRSA Infection
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Here, an effective strategy using microbubble (MB)‐controlled delivery of biofilm‐targeting nanoparticles (BTNs) for removal and therapy of methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilm infections is introduced. In vivo delivery of MB with BTN is demonstrated to silence key bacterial genes involved in biofilm formation (icaA), bacterial ...

To a Problem of Not Increasing Dynamic Compliance at Asthma Patients with Ventilating Disorders after Berotec Inhalation [PDF]
arXiv, 2004 The purpose of research was to check up the influence of decrease of nonequality of ventilating (after bronchodilator (berotec) inhalation (BI)) on the magnitude of dynamic compliance of lungs (Cdyn) at asthma patients with ventilating infringements. Methods and materials: 20 patients (with 2 and 3 degrees of ventilating infringements (VC<73%, FEV1<51%,
